Design by Alvar Aalto.
By Artek.

As a child, Alvar Aalto is known to have admired filtered light "just like the sunlight filtering through grandma's lace curtains on a summer's day."

The shade of A805 is made of thin painted metal strips that prevent glare by diffusing light evenly. The asymmetrical shape is reminiscent of an angel's wing. The white painted, hand-riveted, louvered steel shade makes a bold statement with grace and simplicity.

Select from the following three options:

• Upper stem in polished brass, 8.2 foot black cord.
• Upper stem in polished nickel, 8.2 foot black cord.
• Upper stem in white painted brass with a white leather covered base and stand. 8.2 foot white cord.
